उत्तर
The thirsty crow
One hot day, a thirsty crow flew all across the plains in search of water. It had taken him more time than he thought and he felt weak. Losing all hope, he flew down to see if there was water kept outside the houses by the lonely street.
To his delight, he found a jug with water outside a small hut. But, the jug had very little water and its neck was too narrow for his head to be put in. He tried picking up the jug but in vain. Finally, he saw some pebbles and decided that if he put the pebbles, the water level would rise and he would be able to quench his thirst. But the crow had no patience to throw each pebble inside the jug and wait for the water level to rise slowly. He saw a big stone lying by the side of the jug. He thought to himself, "if I put this big stone inside the jug, the level of water will rise at once".
In his heart, he felt proud of himself for this brilliant idea. So in desperation, he took the big stone and threw it in the jug. But to his disappointment, the stone hit the base of the earthen jug so hard that the jug broke into pieces.
All the water from the jug spread all over the place. The crow tried to drink but before he could do so the thirsty earth had soaked in most of it.
Moral: Haste makes waste.
